Chapter 313 - Shaking hands with grandfather
At the night, the final results were declared but Jean is in deep slumber. After making her way out of the competition as a runner up she is exhausted to her core. In additional to this, being a second winner didn't go just wasted….they indeed got many calls from various sources to work along with them.
However, Jean and Enrick have enough money to continue their work. Honestly they are in no need of sponsors. As soon as she entered their room she pounced on to the bed and closed her eyes in fatigue.
Scott hugged her to sleep but he didn't forget to wait till her results are out. He sighed in relief and wiped his imaginary sweat on the forehead...Jean is the first ranker while Jake moved down to second. Feeling happy for his wife, Scott kissed her forehead tenderly.
Next day morning….
It is her last day in university for other three months. Later her specializations in radiology would start. Today will be the awards ceremony and simple congratulatory party for Enrick and Jean.
As soon as Jean woke up she started searching for her laptop to see her results. But, Scott who just came out after taking a bath stopped her and kissed her lips yearningly.
"Sorry honey, you are still second" Scott pursed his lips and acted little sad.
"It's fine. I decided to stop being childish and stubborn, I am fine with second….but anyway I will still be the person to get a best academics award of the year" Jean giggled and hopped out of the bed and hummed her way into washroom to prepare for the day.
Scott wondered why she is this happy….after lazing idle for a while he went to prepare breakfast for her and Seline.
But as soon as Jean went downstairs Seline hugged her in delight and kissed both of her cheeks. "Congrats…congrats, I know you will top again. Now… my party please…" she squealed as Scott pinched his nose trying to control the certain green eye monster in his heart from strangling his sister away from his wife.
Jean furrowed her eyebrows and confusingly accepted her overexcited assaults.
"Hmm….but why did someone lied to me today morning" Jean hooked her arms around Scott neck and pulled him closer, looking at him with her translucent eyes.
Scott smiled sensually and whispered something in her ear, instantly making her shudder and blush like a ripe tomato. "Pervert, Shameless" saying so she stormed out of the house.
Seline tugged her brother's arm and asked "What did you tell that made her a angry and shy kitten"
Scott chuckled and pinched her cheek. "Little sister. You are still pure and innocent soul that I couldn't tell you" he teased her.
"Owww! That hurts you idiot" she started chasing her brother who happily compiled with her childish game of hide and seek.
In university….
The huge auditorium is filled up with students of various departments as they excitedly waited to see who and who will win these most significant awards.
Meanwhile in the room adjacent to stage, Stephen and Elder Valdez are talking casually when Evan rushed inside and apologized for his delay. Soon the mc started showing them the pictures and profiles of the students who would be receiving awards from them.
These type of events are actually handled by his wife but she suddenly insisted him to replace her. Little he knew that she desperately hoped that Jean would get a chance to impress her grandfather.
The best female student of the year is for Ms. Jean.
The consistent topper of the year is for Ms. Jean.
The best thesis presenter of the neurology department is Ms. Jean.
The best female blog writer of the radiology department is Ms. Jean.
It continued so on like it…
Using their last names is highly prohibited because of the powerful and confidential backgrounds of the students….
Elder Valdez is amazed by her skills, that he couldn't help but ask mc about this student.
"Sir, this is not the first time she got these many awards. Since the starting year of her in this university, the number of awards she received in every year has always been a increasing graph…she is pretty famous but very low key student. She don't stay here all the year but only comes to write her exams" he spoke non stop as he patriotized his dream girl.
Elder Valdez smiled and nodded his head. He couldn't help but think about his Elder daughter…as if thousand needles pricked his heart he felt a sudden pain. A guilt of being too rebellious to his daughter's wished to lead her life.
If it isn't his stubbornness, she might have shared all her feelings with her parents. He felt sad…
"Elder Valdez, she is also my daughter in law you didn't meet that day on my daughter's engagement" Stephen beamed with pride.
Elder Valdez is greatly surprised, no wonder Scott is smitten to her. She is very unique and special woman. Even before he could ask anything….Evan interrupted.
"Sir, she is also my boss. The CEO of INA and also the chairman of grace organizations" Evan said with pride and joy.
He remembered that she is the same student from yesterday. Who was also the runner up of the summit. He is impressed by her….
Soon the event started…..
Students are being called up to receive their awards….
Her first award…..she received it from her grandfather. When his fingers unknowingly skimmed with her fingers she felt overwhelmed….for what? she couldn't comprehend it.
As it is first time to receive a award from the person she respected most and the person who inspired her the most, it is a natural instinct to feel overwhelmed. So she didn't think much but brushed it off.
She didn't understand that it is called as the grandfather love….
Later, all her rewards were given by her father in law and her friend. She is content and ecstatic with what she just received.
This time Raymond came to pick her….as he didn't wish her at the morning he came directly to meet her.
Jean jumped into his arms and squealed with pure joy. "Brother, brother you know what….my role model has given me this award. At that time I was even able to shake his hand. I am elated…wowww…let's party after we go back" she clapped her hands.
Raymond couldn't tell anything to her...she is overwhelmed just because she could touch her role model. He didn't know whether to feel happy or sad.
For gods sake, he is her own grandfather. They share same….how will she react after finding out the truth.
Will she faint then and there??
